It’s not much, but maybe their day will be a little easier if they get a slightly better spot, and I don’t mind walking a little extra

If my RAKs all seem to be work-related, it’s because that’s the only place I’ve gone lately. But I’m off for the holidays now – yay!

Then he and his dog leave for North Carolina and I’m not sure when next we will see them. So when they arrived I took Bisquick to the dog beauty parlor and cleaned her up, bought her a pink striped sweater for her journey East and a new comfy bed to fit in her cage. And yes, I’ll do some equally great things for my son before they leave. I’ll miss them.

It was such a small donation that I was kind of embarrassed when the cashier rung their donation bell. It was a good reminder that every penny counts so I’m keeping my eye out for more of these since I can’t do larger donations this year.

One particular knitter was having a bad day, so someone used the pattern gifting feature on Ravelry to cheer her up. Then she passed it forward. From there, it has been a pattern gifting party all day long!! For many people this year it’s been tough economically, so some knitters are getting patterns from several people even though they can’t pass on the love themselves. I wonder what the designers will all think when they get the notifications hehe!
I wish I could attach a screenshot of all the “loves” and “hugs” posts over there tonight, but it’s very heartwarming and I wanted to share!

Merry Christmas Sheri and the busy elves.
Love Mel x x x

I had never done this before; she recently posted many pictures on her project page of the kids wearing their new warm winter clothing after she handed it out. I was both delighted and sad when I saw a small boy and girl wearing the hats that I’d made; while I wish I could do more at least I’d done something.

Bought a Starbucks card for my hairstylist as a thank you for all the extra effort she’s put in with my wiggly 4 year old and everything else. Also some things for clients at my work which I shall keep to myself, other than to say I’m proud of my staff for the extra effort they’ve put in with our clients, who often find this time of year particularly hard.
